Why do you need a firebase clone? Can't you just use postgres the traditional way?

Supabase started because we open sourced a "change data capture" server on top of Postgres[0]. We then chatted developers to see if they wanted to use it. In our conversations, many of the developers were using Firebase because it was "just easier" to get started.
We really like Postgres, so we decided to make it as easy to get started as Firebase. We aren't modifying Postgres, or trying to turn it into something proprietary. We want migration to/from to a simple pgdump wherever possible. We provide some tooling around it to make it a better experience (for example, auto-generated APIs using PostgREST).
